ick [Was: to bogart]

[Wilson Gray]

What arnold said. It was spelled "Icky" in the funnybook, too. I
remembered that there was a character named "Ichabod _Mudd_," But,
somehow, I got him confused with "Ichabod _Crane_" and so I lamed out
of adding the surname.

[BONG! BONG! BONG! ...]

CapTAAAN MidNIIIGHT!!!

vs. Ivan Shark, among others. Somehow, I've always had the impression
that Boris Badenov was based on Ivan Shark
